    1973 PTO Belt Questions

    A few things spring to mind here: firstly looking for bearing play is best done with the lever set to depress the centre button of the front PTO, i.e in the disengaged position. I'm seeing your mechanic friend looking for play with the springs in the engaged position, the tension of the...

    Overhauling my Cub Cadet 72

    oh no, lots of ways to stop the hunt the thimble jumpy spring thing, just use your imagination, I recall opening my desk vise enough to allow a sliding fit on the shaft, pressed down the spring enough to free the pin and then with care release the vise slowly with control. Woodworking clamps, a...

    1st snow challenge 2024

    Remember that weights attached to the chassis translates to weight on the wheel bearings ( or bushings in most cases and you may want to rethink that as the bushings are small and soft metal. Wheel weights ( including filling the tubes halfway with water does a marvelous job of creating traction...

    Why won't my tractor run??????

    If it starts runs then dies, that is a huge clue towards fuel flow issues, and the in-tank filter ( if fitted) or the feed from the tank being a restriction, best to take the tank off, blow out the fuel lines to the carb. Blow back the tank outlet and reflush the tank with fresh petrol. I had...

    CC 125 pto clutch removal

    I dont want to "state the obvious" but do you know that there are three holes for set screws, and TWO set screws in each hole, one with a sharp pointy nose and the other with a stubby nose. I say "statin the obvious"because many folk dont know that the second set screw is there to lock the...

    Monkeying around in Shultzie's garage

    old Roman Chariots had long blades fitted to those hub extenders you have ... to presumably cut the spokes of opposition chariots or the horses legs I guess (the SPCA might have a few words to say about that practice) but since we are monkeying around, lets see who can come up with the most...

    Steering wheel

    Rod, DO NOT HIT IT WITH A HAMMER ! ( you will damage the steering box below. Apply penetrating oil, have a cuppa tea, walk away after more penetrating oil, loosen the retaining nut a few turns, not completely, just 1/8" of slack, then practice this, sit in the seat, (with a block of wood or a...

    Parts for rebuilding the steering column on 100

    Shhhh..... has anyone whispered that many of the older green and yealla mud sucker (always broken lawn tractors) also used a very similar if not identical (but for length) worm gear steering box. So when you've battered the thread part at the top of the column to loosen the steering wheel...

    Low compression on K321 engine

    Great to hear, Terry, and good luck with the rebuild, its a piece of putty now that you know.... what goes where, READ THE MANUAL ! On some random non CC advice, take several moments to scout the intended cable routing where other possible service lines might possibly run, water, POWER,(i.e...

    Terry, Hi, hoping this finds you well and the darned broken Allen key & tight (vas) grub screw out, and you having a pile of parts in your hands, I'm sure I'm not alone in being curious as to progress, if any. do keep your support crew in the loop. there is experience/learning you can share too

    Low compression on K321 engine

    It was only when (by purely fortuitous coincidence) I saw Matt's post in "Its Alive" post above yesterday that the braincell engaged with the gear (infrequent as that might be) as it shows the three sets of double grub screws holding the pulley to the collar, not directly to the shaft and the...

    Low compression on K321 engine

    Terry, Hi from across the pond, ... just a gentle word of encouragement with a hint of warning, READ THE MANUAL on the front PTO removal (and reconstruction) twice, plus. NOTE for the first time front PTO removal person, rotate the clutch as best you can so that the holes to the DOUBLE pairs of...

    IH chipper

    Hi Robert, can someone take and post a few pictures of what the cutting disk/blades look like please, I downloaded the "manual" from the CC manuals folder (very useful link that one) and it shows a series of hardened steel cutting blades/hammers. I think this looks like a project I could use...

    Iron Gard Questions

    Looking at that image of the paint dribbles running down the outside of the can reminded me of a "life hack" to share.... take a strip ( or two one on top of each other) of wide 2" masking tape and on opening the tin of paint gently wipe to lip on the inside for about 1/3 the circumference...
